Snap a meal, get AI nutrition analysis
from a single photo
Point your camera at any dish and MenuMeld's AI does the rest. Gemini Vision with Google Search grounding returns a structured result — meal name, category, likely allergens, ingredients and 10 macronutrients — then logs it automatically. Runs in the background, with progress in the Dynamic Island and every field fully editable.
One photo becomes a structured nutrition record
No barcode hunting, no database scrolling. The AI looks at your plate and writes a complete entry, with sources behind its estimates.
Snap or pick a photo
Use the camera or choose an existing photo. A clear shot of the whole dish gives the AI the most to work with.
Gemini Vision recognition
Gemini Vision identifies the dish, estimates portion and writes the result as structured JSON the app can read directly.
Google Search grounding
The model grounds its estimates with Google Search so common dishes are matched to realistic, sourced nutrition figures.
Name, category & ingredients
You get a suggested meal name, food category and an ingredient list, not just a number.
Likely allergens flagged
The result highlights probable allergens such as nuts, dairy, egg, shellfish or gluten for a quick safety check.
10 macronutrients
Calories, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, fiber, sugars and protein — all estimated for the meal.
Analyze in the background, fix anything by hand
You never wait on a spinner. The work happens in the background while you carry on, and the result is a starting point you can refine.
Dynamic Island progress
On supported iPhones a Live Activity shows "Analyzing…" then the result — for example "Done: Chicken bowl, 450 kcal, 25g protein."
Background processing
Snap and move on. Analysis continues even if you switch screens or close the app, then the entry appears in its time slot.
Every field editable
Tweak the name, portion or any nutrient value. The AI gives you a head start; you stay in control of the final numbers.
Auto-filed to a time slot
Results land in breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner or supper, keeping your whole day organized without extra taps.
Feeds your dashboard
Each analyzed meal rolls into your daily calorie ring, health score and the 24-nutrient breakdown computed on-device.
Offline-first · iCloud sync
Entries are stored locally and sync across iPhone and iPad. Photo analysis itself needs a connection.
Straight facts: the photo AI returns 10 macronutrients per meal — calories, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, fiber, sugars and protein. Vitamins and minerals are not read from a single photo; they are part of the app's separate 24-nutrient tracking, computed on-device from everything you log.
About photo nutrition analysis
Take or pick a photo of your meal. MenuMeld sends it to Gemini Vision with Google Search grounding, which returns a structured result: meal name, category, likely allergens, ingredient list and 10 macronutrients. The entry is written automatically once analysis finishes.

Yes. Every field is editable. After analysis you can adjust the meal name, portion and any nutrient value before or after it is saved, so the diary stays accurate even when an estimate is off.
No. Analysis runs in the background, so you can keep using the app or close it. On supported iPhones the progress and result appear in the Dynamic Island and Live Activity — for example "Analyzing…" then "Done: Chicken bowl, 450 kcal, 25g protein."
